Introduction to Shooting in FIFA 10

EA Sports introduced a new, more authentic shooting experience in this year’s edition of FIFA 10. In the past, you could get away with sloppy mechanics, poor shooting form, and an inaccurate power versus speed combination.

Now, you must learn exactly what it takes to put more shots on goal, test the goalkeepers, and score more goals. Let’s get started.

FIFA 10 Shooting Basics

Many factors determine the accuracy of the shot such as player momentum, speed, rating, and of course how far you power up the shot meter. There is a direct correlation between shot speed and ball elevation based just on the how much you power up the shot meter. Also keep in mind that your player’s accuracy is greatly diminished if he is on a full sprint while shooting, as well as his lateral momentum at the time.

It’s best to use slow controlled movements when shooting, and to always understand that the further away you are from goal, the more power and accuracy you need to score. Thankfully, there are 3 different shots you can use to score goals in FIFA 10.

Tip: A really good tip here is to let go of the sprint button, control your pace to gain composure, get the ball on your player’s dominant foot, and then let it rip.

FIFA 10 Finesse Shot Tips & Tutorial

The finesse shot is a more accurate yet less powerful shot than the normal power shot. Finesse shot works best when you are within 25 yards of the goal, and have both time and space to properly aim at the goal. This is a very effective tool to help assist your player in gaining composure while striking the shot.

A direct shot is hit with the boot laces, whereas the finesse shot is usually taken with the side of the foot. At the end, the finesse shot favors accuracy, placement, control, and composure over power and velocity.

How to Do a Finesse Shot in FIFA 10

  • Finesse Shot Xbox 360 Controls – Press RB while Holding down B
  • Finesse Shot PS3 Controls – Press R1 while holding down O

FIFA 10 Finesse Shot Video Example

Here’s a video on a FIFA gamer scoring a close range finesse shot. Notice how he slows down then finesses the ball into the control with accuracy and control, not power.

FIFA 10 Chip Shot Tips & Tutorial

The chip shot is a great shot for scoring 1 vs. 1 chances with the goalkeeper and/or testing the goalkeeper from distance when you find him out of position. Unlike the finesse shot, you strike the underside of the ball to send it high up into the air.

The faster you are running, the more difficult it will be to effectively chip the goalkeeper. I recommend slowly down before performing a chip and focusing on the power bar making sure it’s not more than 3/4 full at any time.

Tip: Pay attention to your radar when you’re on a breakaway. When you see the little goalkeeper dot moving towards you, it’s time to chip the goalkeeper and score a goal!

How to Do a Chip Shot in FIFA 10

  • Chip Shot Xbox 360 Controls – Press LB while Holding down B
  • Chip Shot PS3 Controls – Press L1 while holding down O

FIFA 10 Chip Shot Video Example

Here’s a video compilation of various chip shot situations that you can learn from. Notice how Duaine makes sure the goalkeeper is off his line before he does a chip shot.

FIFA 10 Power Shot Tips & Tutorial

The last shot is the normal shot aka power shot which is a hard driven shot on goal. The best way to do a power shot is to refer to the ball speed/elevation chart above. A good rule of thumb is to never fill up the power bar more than 3/4 full, or you risk putting the ball over the net.

Tip: Double tap the shoot button if you have a bad habit of shooting the ball over the goal. This will prevent you from filling up the power bar too much!

How to Do a Power Shot in FIFA 10

  • Power Shot Xbox 360 Controls – Press B while filling up the power bar no more than 3/4
  • Chip Shot PS3 Controls – Press O while filling up the power bar no more than 3/4

FIFA 10 Power Shot Video Example

Here’s a video that shows how to do a power shot while dribbling into open space.

How to Manually Aim Your Shot

Now that we’ve covered the basic shots in FIFA 10, let’s dive into how to manually aim your shots. You can choose the direction of your shots based on which way you point the left controller stick. As a general rule of thumb:

  • Moving the stick to the left sends the ball left and adds sidespin
  • Moving the stick to the right sends the ball right and adds sidespin
  • Moving the stick up sends the ball up
  • Moving the stick down sends the ball low along the ground

Another important aspect is which camera view you are using in FIFA 10. You need to adjust your shooting aim depending on which camera view. In Pro camera mode, moving the stick to your left means the ball goes left. However, in Tele camera mode, moving the stick to your left actually adds backspin to the shot. Be aware of how the angles in respect to you affect the aiming of your shot.

How to Aim Manually in FIFA 10

  • Manual Shot Xbox 360 Controls – Aim Left Stick While Pressing B to add direction and spin
  • Manual Shot PS3 Controls – Aim Left stick while Pressing O to add direction and spin

FIFA 10 Long Shot Tips

The key to scoring long shots in FIFA 10 is to hold down the Left control stick while filling up the power. This adds topspin to the shot, causing it to dip down and stay on goal.

When attempting long distance shots, remember to press shot first or your player will turn in the other direction if you move the control stick first. Once you press the shot button, your power bar will fill up. Then hold down the control stick to keep the shot goal level.

How to Do Long Shots in FIFA 10

  • Long Range Shot Xbox 360 Controls – Press B then aim the left control stick down
  • Long Range Shot PS3 Controls – Press O then aim the left control stick down

FIFA 10 Long Range Shot Video Example

Here’s an example of how a gamer keeps his shot at goal level while shooting from distance.

How to Keep Shots on Target

If you’re constantly missing the goal when shooting, then you are probably shooting too hard! Try these few tips:

  • Try shooting within 20-25 yards from goal. This will improve your accuracy.
  • Use the finesse shot more. Be careful online though. You need more time to wind it up.
  • Never fill up the power bar more than 1/2 way.
  • Play with at least 4 star teams only. Players have higher shooting ratings :)

How to Keep Shots Low on the Ground

Still haven’t figured this one out yet? Does anyone know how to keep shots low on the ground consistently? Leave a comment if you know how and I’ll update this section.

Reply

Chris March 23, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Two words… double tap.

There seems to be a pretty sophisticated engine in place when you tap one of the buttons twice in quick succession.

If you hit the “O” button twice quickly, you will get a faster release on the shot and the shot will stay lower to the ground while still maintaining a high velocity. To Generate greater lift hold the button down slightly longer on the second tap.

Additionally, you can use this when a ball is in the air to make your player peform a volley or bike.

Also, tapping “X” twice when a ball comes to you will heel flick to a teammate if one is lined up behind you.

Use the right analog stick to control your first touch.

Depends on if the keeper makes a save or charges the ball. A chip beats a charging keeper; Try adding more power to your finesse shot and aim.

Hey Tarik great tips yet again. Have you got a PS3 aswell or just 360? Just that i might be the first person to batter you ha! My record is Played 496, Won 379 and Lost 85. I like using the tactic of Ultra Defensive as you can still create a vast amount of attacking oppurtunities and concede less too. My winning percentage is 80%, total goals for is 1778 and total goals against is 540. Average goals for is 3.58 whilst average goals against is just 1.18. Finally my cleansheets is a staggering 148. Are these numbers impressive? I’m thinking of becoming a journalist so if you ever need someone to write some articles or other stuff, i’ll be more than willing to help out. What’s your record on FIFA?

Hey mate, thanks for all the newsletters you have sent, they have really been great, you’ve helped me come along way with your freekick tutorials, I would like more help with corners and heading though!

I need help with my shooting for one reason, I dont play with 5 star teams (I was raised by a cockney, stricly west ham! who are 4 star or 3.5 with ALS) and its extremely difficult (and frustrating) to beat higher teams mainly because all my players are either;

too slow in comparision to ALL the other players (my strikers cant have through balls, my defenders are too slow, bad lob balls, bad passes, bad first touches, bad defending and heading defense due to low ratings, which is quite BIAST in my opinon)

low shooting rating on fifa

high pressure from opposition (strikers chasing my defenders around the keeper box – extremely lame when its Torres, or Ronaldo)

not being able to hold the ball up because of a rating, example, holding Right Trigger makes you hold the ball, this just isnt the case if a player like Gerrard or John Terry, they just instantly lose the ball?

I can most of the time pull a win, or end up turning my xbox off as im so frustrated as the opposition score a fluke ball thats a backpass or their first shot of the game being unmarked just outside the box…

I have started playing as brazil but its such a let down for my gaming experience!
also I can do plenty of skill tricks, score free kicks easily too (with players with stupid ratings!!)

I can mainly score with fitness shots very close to the keeper one on one, and also one on one (if im through) I just rainbow flick over the keeper (if my player can do the trick) – its probably the funniest (and easiest) way to score if you can get past your defence.

anyway, sorry for the rant, I just appreciate your work alot.
if you or anyone on here ever fancy a game, my gamertag is:
blueappless

Reply

Tarik Pierce May 13, 2009 at 10:50 am

Haha. Great stuff, especially the rainbow flick over the goalie. You are very bold!

The funny thing is that if you only play with 5 star teams, you never develop the true skills to play very well. If you are skilled, then you can play well with any team.

Heck, I beat Manchester United with DC United 3-1 a few weeks back, and my opponent was so pissed off that he quit!

I’m glad you’re enjoying my newsletter and content because I enjoy making it! I can’t wait for my programmer to finish the forum, so we all have a unique place to chat, share tips, discuss problems, and have a great time.

these tips are very effective and a good way to score. However, by pressing the shoot button once it is more of a powerful shot etc how do you do a really powerful shot along the ground? For example when Liverpool played Arsenal n it was 4-4 Torres’s goal was smashed low and hard into the corner. is there any way to do this on fifa?

Reply

Tarik Pierce May 13, 2009 at 10:39 am

Use the Double tap. So tap the shoot button twice to initiate a hard, low shot. Or you can just tap the shoot button, but you probably developed a habit of shooting above ground so the double tap is a good strategy to use.

thanks that really helped me out as i want to score alot more goals, however have you got any tips on how to score amazing volleys? Also i amazingly have only ever scored 1 goal from a cross (not a corner and normal (in play) cross into the box) so could you possibly help me on how to direct the ball to a certain person? for example i am an Arsenal supporter and play often with them, not because i support them but they fit my style of play very well. As i cross, i always want to direct the ball to my tallest player in the box, in my case Adebayor. how would i direct it to him precisely? Or even if lets say i have Fabregas just outside the penalty box, how could i direct the ball to his foot to smash a volley?

I’ve recently played against teams on xbox that play with a defensive mentality, a high pressure and couter attacking tactic by using the quick tactics button on the d-pad. I however, do not use any tactics using the d-pad an keep to a normal team mentality. I have struggled to play against players who use this tactic as you hardly get any time on the ball before two men are at your heels. Then when they break away, 3 players are attacking your defense because of the counter attack tactic used and because they’re using a defensive mentality they aren’t shy of men in defense. Have you got any advice on how to combat this?

To keep your shot in the grass, IN PS3 I ALWAYS TAP L2 with O so my shots goes always low. I did this ’cause I used to confuse a lot the finese shot R1 with L2.

thanks that was very helpful, i thought that L2 helped to slow down and only and to kick faster when you are just standing up but thanks it worked

To keep shots low on the ground, press the shoot button twice quickly
For example, if on PC, I want to shoot a low shot, I will press D twice quickly

Hope that helps :-)

I use tele camera mode so which direction should I use to aim my shots from distance? Do I aim toward or away from the goal?

Keith May 5, 2010 at 1:59 pm

Sorry that meaning once I start powering up my long range shot in tele camera mode to I aim toward the goal or away from the goal to keep the more powerful shot down and on target?

i have noticed tha my defence is always further up that it should be. i get burned on counter attack by my opponent. second, my defenders always stop when they are in pursuit of a player and i decide to control them. and finally i have notice that some of my oppon ent manage to have 6 of their player in the box to defend and lock me down. while they always seem to be much faster than me in attack. I play with Chesleas, Arsenal and Marseil in FIFA 10 and France in FIFA WORLDCUP 2010.

Any Tips?

an effective method of scoring on a 1 on 1 situation is applying the shot fake on the keeper and then scoring.. when keeper is quite close to you.. press the shoot+pass button while moving the directional left analog stick in a different desired direction.. it is quite easy to learn and within no time you’ll be able to beat keepers and move on to score in an empty net.. practice it.. works all the time for me! =D and plus it looks awesome! ;D

This is a great tutorial, I actually stopped playing this game for a while because I was so frustrated with the shooting. You cleared up a few misconceptions for me and I appreciate it.
